Prosecutors have said that caregivers are only able to provide marijuana for up to five patients and must be connected to those patients through a registration process. Dispensaries are not legal, according to the prosecutor's office.

"This is the most significant ruling since the passage of the Medical Marijuana Act," the release states.

"Today is a huge victory for medical marijuana caregivers and patients statewide."
